Govt Agrees To Offer Two-Year Contract As Part of Solutions To Contact Doctors’ Issue

KUALA LUMPUR, July 23  — The government has agreed for medical, dental and pharmacy officers with contract appointments to be offered a two-year contract of service upon completion of their compulsory service period.

Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in a statement today said the move was to ensure continuity of service and also as a preparation for the young doctors to pursue specialist training.

He said this was also among the immediate solutions approved by the government after the proposal relating to the improvement of contract status for medical, dental and pharmacy officers was tabled by the Ministry of Health at the Cabinet meeting on July 14.

“The government fully understands the demands of this group of contract health workers and is also aware that their contribution and role as the frontliners is crucial in providing the best health services to the people, especially during this COVID-19 pandemic,” he said.

The Prime Minister said the Cabinet also agreed to extend the contract of service to a maximum of four years for medical and dental officers accepted to pursue specialist training during their first two-year contract.
